Many skin cancers develop slowly and may not show obvious warning signs at first.

Routine skin checks matter, even if you’ve never had a concerning spot before.

Around 500,000 Australians have a common non-melanoma skin cancer surgically removed each year.

New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) shows that around 2% of Australians have a common non-melanoma skin cancer surgically removed each year. Common non-melanoma skin cancer is estimated to be up to three times as common as all other cancers combined.

Rates are higher among men, older Australians and people living in regional areas.

Being aware of changes to your skin and speaking with a health professional about anything concerning can help identify changes that may require further assessment.

Skin cancer doesn’t only appear on areas that see the sun, it may develop anywhere on the body.

If you notice something new, or a mole that looks different than before, it’s important to have it reviewed by a doctor.

Even in winter, UV rays can affect the skin.

Applying sunscreen daily is recommended to help protect against sun-related skin damage. Did you know an adult typically needs around 7 tablespoons to cover exposed areas?

Regular SPF use may also help reduce the appearance of UV-related skin changes over time.

Not all skin cancers appear as the darkest or most unusual spot on the skin.
